Okay, so the Epcot entrance loop has got to be one of my favorite music loops in WDW. I have the 2006 (current one I suppose) version of it and I can pick out certain pieces of music in it:

Ellen's Energy Adventure
Soarin'
Imagination!
Living Seas
America (Golden Wings)

But I'm wondering if anyone happens to know what other attractions have music featured in the loop (if any?) I have been racking my brain on this one...:lookaroun

Well, they have both Imagination! pavilion themes: One Little Spark & the Imagination Institute Theme from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

Plus, add the Mission: Space score by Trevor Rabin.

And I think that about covers it.

The loop also features an instrumental "Epcot Discovery Suite" to bridge all the individual pavilion themes which, I suppose, is an homage to the original EPCOT Center theme song, "We've Just Begun to Dream." It doesn't have the same melody, but its style certainly echoes this original theme.

One of the best pieces of original Disney theme park music currently being played in my humble opinion. I've got it burned to CD and it permanently resides in my car's CD player in case traffic gets too depressing.

I like the entrance loop rather than the WS entrance loop.

It contains a song from each country's loop ---- but the problem is one of the song skips for 2 secs and sounds awful
Most don't notice it, but after hearing the loop hundreds and hundreds times, it gets really annoying

I prefer the 1982 version myself - it's synthesizer perfection. :)

But the current loop is great too. It's sad when there's a special occasion (F&G, Christmas) that causes it to get replaced.

I gotta say that Illuminations is my all time favorite. I have allot of Music on CD from Disney in my car, but that is the one I go back to allot. It really gets the blood pumping in my opinion.

Absolutely agreed. It sure would be a classy tribute to reinstate this loop for but one day... even one morning, 10/1 this year. Just one day...

Yes, Yes and Yes and maybe Mr Wagner could welcome me to the 21st century one more time.

I love the Epcot entrance loop... that medley is the biggest factor in me thinking "Okay, now I'm here". It's a big, majestic arrangement, and I listen to it on CD fairly often at work wishing I was there.

they used to play the IllumiNations music (in a shortened form) as part of the entrance loop, but it was removed several years ago. Not sure why--it sounds great echoing across the epic cemetery at the entrance. Gotta say...it's my favorite cemetery anywhere.

Dumb question...

but, where are you finding Theme park music? CDs you purchased or online somewhere? I've been to mousbits.com but not sure how to navigate this site and disneymusicloops.com I get nothing but a blank page...

THanks for helping this musically challenged Disney fan :lol:

Definately one of Epcot's best. Both the newer loop and the one from the 80s are quality. I've always believed Epcot is the best park when it comes to area music loops, not to mention the best all-around music score. The loops that play at the front of the park just seem to personify the ideas of innovation, progress and the possibilities of the future.

I've gotten all my audio from mousebits. If you do a google search on how to use bittorrent I'm sure you'll find several guides that would be helpful to use. I think there have been a lot of previous threads discussing its use here as well if you'd like to try a search. It's really quite easy once you get the hang of it.
